Premium here, born on May 19, 2023. Shipped with 1.08, never had movie code. Using home team. Updated to 1.10 and seeing raptor gate go up and down. Sent email to stern support.

May 21 build. No issues so far. Used new SD card and image

May 22 build. USB Stick. No issues.

I have a May of 21 build and updated to the new code last night. Played a few games and have had no issues

Anyone have a pro here with the new code ?

Archytas Did you get it working? I have installed the older move code 1.03 on a seperate SD card and was thinking about popping the original SD back in and and trying to code update to try the new modes on the next game night. Only difference is I will probably just use a brand new USB since I've had unexpected problems reusing USBs in the past so got a few new ones cheap.

Curious if you got it sorted out before I bother.

Initially updated through IC but then flashed the card to see if it fixed the issue. Still having gate problems. Kinda feels better that several others are having the same issue so that it’s more likely we will get a fix. Guess I’ll just wait it out. For reference, I was a May 2022 build. Be sure to post if anyone is able to figure out a fix.

Stern acknowledged on social media they are aware of the bug and will have a fix asap

No issues with gate... keep hearing "you are approaching the Trex Paddock".... not even close... on my first dino...

In case it helps anyone...

I have a Pro. November 2019 build. Was at 1.03. (Yeah yeah) No movie code for me thanks.

"Unpack failed" 3 times using different install types.

Tried a different USB stick and different USB slot. Quick install. Verify No. Finally worked.

The new code is great. Love the co-op! Extra callouts, and more informative ones to boot. Got a Nedry save once. (Not sure how) That was cool.

Moral of the story is keep trying different things when getting "unpack failed."

I’m on a pro purchased new Dec 2020 and playing almost every day since haha. Comparing to the movie code 1.05 the new code definitely makes it easier to progress and scoring is much higher (bye bye old high scores). Of course 1.05 is old for sure but comparing to 1.10, DNA so much easier to get, fossils easier to get. I had both secure control room and visitor centre lit at the same time. Never had that in 3+ years on old code. I did King of the island and invalid as well. One more shot to start escape Nublar and it went SDTM! Some things easier code can’t fix LOL. I’ve never had a score like this before.

I’m torn for sure. I didn’t really need the game this much easier but it is fun to progress so far so quickly. I will play both codes for sure and am thankful for the new code. Movie callouts and videos are still way way better than these graphics.

Installed new code and have a couple of questions. Can someone explain how the Nedry save works and co-op mode.

Thanks!

So I tried finding pictures online. Can anyone confirm they added the new apron with lights on the flippers on the 30th? It sure looked that way.

For the data point Aug 2020 build no issues with new code.

Love the co-op modes and damn is the nedry save huge.

Awesome! Just to help confirm please, have you also tried swapping out the SD cards and switching back to movie code OK without any issues?

Yep. Was running old movie code. I still had the SD card that had the the original 0.98 so I reinstalled that, made sure it worked, then did a full install of 1.10 (not the quick install). No issues.

As far as I can tell, this seems to be a callout that indicates you are one hit to the truck away from lighting a T-Rex Mode. It is not referring to the T-Rex paddock.

That said, it is confusing, and I wish it were something else, because yeah…makes you think you’re going for the T-Rex paddock on the map!

Related to the T-Rex paddock and callouts, though: I’ve captured the Rex a number of times on the new code, and it seems to have a bugged callout that claims the T-Rex “got away.”

That makes sense...I was. Thanks. Just new

Yes I sorted it by directly downloading the full image and flashing the SD card instead: https://sternpinball.com/support/sd-cards/

Took another 2 hours to redownload the code but sorted the issue and updated to 1.10 no problems.

I noticed this during the stream also, they were working on the earlier paddocks but it kept mentioning the trex paddock was coming up

I quit doing the USB updates...cards are cheap....I keep them all.....for now

My Premium is an Aug 21 build.

Upgraded last night from 1.03 of the Movie code to Stern's latest, 1.10

Have put about 20 games on it. Most of the animations look nice but a couple look "yucky" (technical term), such as the Bonus and Tota Score animations. I like the call outs, the light shows are a bit different, and the Nedry save is a nice addition.

And I just experienced a machine lockup at the end of a short game; had to recycle power to reboot.

Someone from stern needs to get involved in this forum and give us answers now !!!!!! Santa eats cheese please chime in

Such as Pinball1987 I'm not sure that demanding to the air with exclamation points that stern do really anything is going to accomplish much.

It's really too bad that we are all discussing gate gate instead of the awesome new code...

Seems like the solution may be to do a full flash from a fresh download. Mine does work fine with the Ota update though.

Same experience here. I have a brand new July run. I’ve updated the code quick and then tried an full update still issues.

Have you tried a SD image update?

I have one of the most recent run premiums and have no issues with the gate on newest code. The release notes mentioned a fix for something relating to that gate on some machines so I guess that broke it on some others. I’d love to know what the differences are between machines.

I had the issue mentioned. Sometimes a game would start and the gate would be half way up. Was usually impossible to hit the gate switch. I have not had the issue since the new code. May 2022 build.

Anyone pop their card back out to 1.03-1.05?

I also had it occasionally. A reboot would fix.. only a couple of games on new code...sounds like it was a known issue

I don't prefer the movie code so haven't done that

I did a fresh image on a new sd card and had the same result.

@ Santa eats cheese Please chime in. I tried calling you

The format is SantaEatsCheese

I just contacted a person from stern. I was waiting for my cheeseburger pizza which I must say was amazing over at pizza world USA and decided to make some calls. I contacted someone from there and told them the issue. They said “ thank you for lletting me know I will contact my team and have them work on a fox and apologized for this issue. “.

SantaEatsCheese chime in please on this

They’ve already posted on Facebook that they are aware and will get a fix done next week. Probably not reasonable to expect it to be done today or tomorrow.

I can assure you I have no association with Stern whatsoever. The fact someone could think that means I should spend less time on this site. What's the issue?

LOL

I thought your in sales, oops. Maybe that was a different santa

Yep... I need to spend less time on this site. Just a nerd who likes talking about pinball. I do Information Systems Security Engineering and lose money trading pinball machines in my basement as a supplement to my pinball hobby.

Pinball1987 doesn't even own a game yet and he's already torturing everybody who has ever said the word "Stern."

God help those guys over there if his machine doesn't arrive in absolutely flawless condition.

NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s mine, CrazyLevi for governor
